Anti-wrinkle fabric arrangement
The present invention relates to a fabric arrangement and pillow designed to prevent skin lines and wrinkle formation while improving sleep using combinations of fabrics, cooling technologies and scents. The present invention is designed with a specific fabric and materials combination that create a surface in which the shear stresses causing skin lines and wrinkles are eliminated. Multiple layers make up the fabric arrangement include a top layer comprising a stretchable material and a second layer comprising a low friction material relative to the first layer. Supporting the first two layer is a support layer such as foam. Lower layers may comprise a cooling material, an antimicrobial or anti-allergenic material and a scent layer.
1. A fabric arrangement comprising:
at least a first panel and a second panel forming an interior space configured to accept a pillow the at least the first panel and at least the second panel configured to form a pillow case;
at least one of the first panel or the second panel comprising from outer most layer inward:
a first layer comprising an elastic fabric;
a second layer having a first side and a second side, the first side adjacent the first layer and comprising a low friction surface and the first layer and second layer joined at the edges and comprising the same general size;
a third layer comprising a support layer configured to support the first layer and the second layer; and
a fourth layer comprising a cooling material configured to absorb heat from the first layer, second layer, and third layer.
2. The fabric arrangement of claim 1 wherein the cooling material comprises one or more of the following materials from the group of materials consisting of: sodium sulfate salt, sodium phosphate salt, sodium ammonium phosphate salt or ammonium phosphate salt.
3. The fabric arrangement of claim 1 further comprising a fourth layer, the fourth layer comprising a support layer or an antimicrobial element layer.
4. The fabric arrangement of claim 1 further comprising a scent pocket configured to hold a scent infused element.
5. The fabric arrangement of claim 1 wherein the third layer further comprises antimicrobial.
6. The fabric arrangement of claim 1 wherein the third layer comprises foam.
7. The fabric arrangement of claim 1 wherein the elastic fabric is capable of stretching in any direction.
8. A fabric arrangement for bedding configured to reduce the formation of wrinkles in a user's skin comprising:
a first layer having a top surface and a bottom surface the first layer comprising an elastic material configured to stretch in at least two directions and contact the user's skin with the top surface;
a second layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, the second layer top surface configured to contact the bottom surface of the first layer and provide a low friction interface between the first layer bottom surface and the second layer top surface;
a third layer configured to contact the second layer bottom surface, the third layer comprising foam and serving as a support layer for the first layer and the second layer; and
a fourth layer comprising a pouch and a cooling layer, the pouch configured to contain the cooling layer and the cooling layer comprising a liquid or gel configured to conduct heat away from the skin of the user.
9. The fabric arrangement of claim 8 wherein the interface between the first layer and the second layer establishes a lower coefficient of friction there between than a coefficient of friction between the first layer and the skin of the user.
10. The fabric arrangement of claim 8 wherein bedding comprises an item selected from the group consisting of sheets, pillows, blankets, pillow cases, and pillow covers.
11. The fabric arrangement of claim 8 wherein the first layer is stretchable in 360 degrees of motion parallel to the second surface layer.
12. An anti-wrinkle panel for use in a pillow case, the panel comprising:
a first layer comprising stretchable and low friction layer, the first layer configured to contact skin of a user;
a second layer below the first layer comprising a low friction layer, wherein the coefficient of friction between the first layer and the second layer is less than 0.3; and
a support layer under the first layer and the second layer, the support layer configured to support the first layer and second layer and the support layer further comprising a heat conducting element as part of the support layer that conducts heat away from the first layer and second layer.
13. The panel of claim 12 , wherein the second layer is non-elastic.
14. The panel of claim 13 , wherein the first layer is breathable cotton in combination with an elastic material.
15. The panel of claim 14 , wherein the first layer is configured to not slip relative to the skin of a user but instead stretch with the skin of the user and the first layer slides across the second layer.
